Though Will Ferrells latest comedy isnt the most poorly reviewed on Rotten Tomatoes, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is being roasted throughout all social media. Throughout the day Friday, fans of the SNL alum tuned into the latest Netflix feature and quickly took to Twitter to express their displeasure. In fact, it got to a point where Ferrell himself became a trending topic.
ComicBook.coms Charlie Ridgely gave it two out of five stars, saying the feature isnt an inherently bad movie.
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga isnt an inherently bad movie. The story is easy to follow, though entirely too long, and the characters all make sense. Its a fine film, Ridgel says in his review. But thats what weve come to expect from Ferrell vehicles as of late theyre just fine. The Story of Fire Saga is just another hollow shell of a comedy, devoid of any excitement or substance. After Get Hard and two Daddys Home movies, Im not sure why I expected anything more.

Flawed Irony
I guess Will Ferrells character in #EUROVISION: TSOFS mocking American tourists in Europe should work as an ironic METAphor of his making a film about a show he seems to find amusing but that he doesnt really understand. The irony doesnt work, and neither does the film. pic.twitter.com/0CMQ9HuZ97

Plz Dont
Wow. Will Ferrell is in a Netflix movie about Eurovision, and if that trailer is anything to go by, it could actually be the worst thing thats happened yet in 2020.

Farmer Ferrell
Im watching the Eurovision film on Netflix and so far its terrible. Ive concluded that Will Ferrell hasnt been funny since Anchorman and he should retire to run a farm or something.

Chill
Watching the bad Will Ferrell Eurovision movie on Netflix, right now. Whoever edited it needs to go to the Harold Ramis School Of Cutting To The Two-Shot On Punchlines.

Awful
The Will Ferrell/Rachel McAdams Eurovision movie is *awful*. Netflix continues to affirm for me they cant make movies.
